- Extra Details:
- The bacteriophage MS2 is a small, male-specific RNA bacteriophage that infects E. coli and other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Its genome comprises a single sense (+) strand of RNA 3569 nucleotides in length, which encodes only four proteins: the coat protein, the A or maturation protein, which is required for infectivity, a subunit of the viral replicase, and a small lysis protein encoded in an overlapping reading frame. The capsid protein (UniProt: P03612; also known as CP, Coat protein) of bacteriophage MS2 is a translational repressor. It is reported to inhibit the synthesis of the viral replicase by binding a specific RNA structure that contains the replicase translation initiation region. Capsid protein self-assembles to form an icosahedral capsid with a T=3 symmetry and consists of 89 capsid proteins dimers (178 capsid proteins). It is involved in viral genome encapsidation through the interaction between a capsid protein homodimer and the multiple packaging signals present in the RNA genome. Proline 78 is shown to be essential for viral infectivity. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunoprecipitation and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:10,000 detected EnterobacterioPhage MS2 Coat Protein in K562 ells treated with Escherichia phage MS2 (Bacteriophage MS2) and K562+MS2 recombinant protein treated with Escherichia phage MS2 (Bacteriophage MS2) Capsid Protein. Immunoprecipitation: 1:10,000 detected EnterobacterioPhage MS2 Coat Protein in K562 cells treated with Escherichia phage MS2 (Bacteriophage MS2). Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
